Zac Efron recently sat down for an interview with Women’s Health magazine. (Why he did that, the world may never know). But in the interview, he was asked about his biggest regret. So what did the triple threat say? His biggest regret is not going to college. Aww.

Apparently, Zac had been accepted to both USC and UCLA the same year that he was offered the part in High School Musical. Not too shabby, Zac. Ultimately, he deferred his enrollment to USC and went ahead with HSM. But seeing as he’s starred in a string of other movies since then, he hasn’t really had time to go to college.

Don’t worry, buddy. You can go back to college anytime you want! But don’t forget that college isn’t all fun and games. Yes, it’s important to enrich your mind and further your education. And the parties aren’t too bad, either. But there are plenty of aspects of college life that you’re not missing out on. Check out the gallery to see what I mean.

1. Having a bad roommate

Living with a roommate is a college rite of passage. And sadly, it’s one that only some people enjoy. Whether your roommate is a slob, has guys sleep over constantly, or loves to stay awake all night with the light on while you try to sleep, if you’re stuck with a bad roommate, there are bound to be some tough times along the way.

2. Avoiding the Freshman 15
Speaking of cafeteria food… It’s true that the Freshman 15 is real for lots of people. But now that it’s gotten so much attention in the media, people are getting a bit too concerned about avoiding it. OMG, you gained a pound?! The world is ending.

3. Group projects
Everybody gets stuck with a group project at some point in their college career. Which means that everybody will probably start to hate their group members at some point in their college career.
